Incorrect billing and excessive charges
Afternoon,
RE: My account is still not corrected
I was debited R 1,906.98 on the 26 March 2018 and when I check self service to check if the corrections were done. It shows that I need to pay DSTV R 1,846.23 on the 26 April 2018. To my surprise, the amount is exorbitant and I only have one package with DSTV but I have to pay this exorbitant amount.
I then checked my statement and transactional history. According to the statement - I only owed DSTV R 882.79 as at the 21 March 2018 and on the 26 March R 1,836.98 was paid to my main account. So that meant that the account should be in credit but no, on the 26 March 2018 credits & debits went through the account in a sum of R 1024.19.
When I take the statement and transactional history, there is nothing indicating how DSTV is now billing me for a further R 1,846.23. Below is the data and attached are the documents supporting the statement above.
I have been complaining about this incorrect billing since the 26 February 2018 and DSTV has done nothing to remedy their mishap instead they charged me further reconnection fees of R 50.00 even after their consultants promised that they wouldn't and now I get a bill that is way more than the contractual amount.
Due to their incorrect amount billed and debited on my account last month, my cheque account was left in a minus and my bank didn't allow the debit to go through and they returned it. DSTV debited R 1091 instead of R 882 less the reconnection fees charged erroneously.
I have been more than patient with DSTV, I called them almost every week and every time I was told that someone will contact me but to date no one has bothered to do so. I have reached a point where I cant let this go on but to take this up on HelloPeter. Hopefully someone from DSTV will have the decency to contact me and rectify this as a matter of urgency.
